What it is

Chorizo seasoning is a spice blend used to impart the characteristic flavor of chorizo, a type of pork sausage. It typically includes paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, and salt. The specific blend can vary widely by brand and regional preference.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add chorizo seasoning to provide a savory, spicy, and smoky flavor profile. It is most commonly used in sausages, ground meats, marinades, sauces, and snack foods. It helps create a consistent and appealing taste in a variety of prepared foods.

Health notes

Chorizo seasoning itself is a blend of spices and is not subject to specific FDA regulations as a single additive. Individual spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual spices commonly found in chorizo seasoning. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these spices in typical amounts found in food.

Allergen info

Chorizo seasoning is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not typically contain gluten unless a specific spice blend includes wheat-based anti-caking agents, which is uncommon.
